Alas, poor Bob! I knew him, David

With the collapse of Bob Stapleton's HTC-Highroad, a slew of talent was released to the market - all of whom managed to find a new home. Over its four year history, Highroad supplied a lot of teams with quality riders, many of whom have gone on to be some of the top riders in the peloton.

Mouse over me

Who's the team with the most to owe to Highroad? That'd be Sky, who has 9 riders who spent time at some incarnation of Highroad. Omega Pharma-Quickstep and Lotto Belisol each have 7. BMC has 4, while GreenEdge and RadioShack-Nissan each clock in at 3. Garmin-Barracuda, Cofidis and Project it4i have 2, and Katusha, Lampre, Rabobank, Champion Systems and SpiderTech each have 1.
